That Man: Peter Berlin (2005) is documentary about gay star Peter berlin directed by Jim Tushinski. This film had its world premiere at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival and was an official selection of over 65 film festivals, including the Seattle, Chicago, Palm Springs, Rio, and Durban International Film Festivals. In January 2006, the documentary opened theatrically to great acclaim.

Peter Berlin was talented artist, photographer, and filmmaker, he starred in two underground gay erotic classics from the early 1970s, Nights in Black Leather and That Boy, which he also directed. But he was his own biggest creation, a carefully constructed, unattainable icon awash in eroticism.

Berlin talk about his own life in interviews. Many other artists (porn stars, photographers, writers, contemporaries) comment on his legacy in gay culture.
